Better known as the PDR, anytime your Doctor says excuse me for a bit. The chances are very great they are flipping through a PDR trying to find the "right pill/treatment" for you.

If your Google the PDR you get link after link of how reliable it is on, all but the first hit.
http://www.personalconsult.com... and it nails the problem with the PDR.

"The PDR is merely a drug's package insert. It is a FDA regulated article limited to merely the research submitted to the FDA typically to get a product approved for sale to you. Sometimes the information is from research from after the drug is out and being used by patients--new issues or problems arise. Period. It offers little else!" (edited "FDAÑtypically to FDA typically")

... "For example, one new anti-psychotic drug, Abilify, is listed in the PDR as a drug, which has doses of 15 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg. Guess what would happen if psychotic youth were given this PDR official dose?

If I gave that to kids with psychosis, I would have vomiting and stuporous patients. Continuing to follow the PDR would be cruelty." ...

"In no way does the PDR describe nor purport to describe the standard of care. Half the prescriptions in the nation are written off label. In other words, doctors think of useful and helpful ways which have not been approved by the massive FDA, you know, the ones who shut down Canadian drug stores in the USA.

If a doctor fails to place patients on a medication for the non-approved PDR indication, but the custom is that most doctors do, the doctor is clearly outside the standard of care. Thus quoting the PDR as authoritative represents the failure to comply with half of the standard of care in the US.

Some doctors would testify that limiting oneself to PDR approved indications and dosage is quackery that should result in the loss of license, as a threat to the health of the public. Half the customary prescribed treatment would be missed by this doctor."

You showed him how to pick up hookers? (Grin)

Thank you for that link, There's a station close to me I'll be using now.

Always the carburetor.

I've seen the gas I get turn from an Amber color to almost clear. The gas stations in this area have used a razor to remove the "up to", from the pump stickers that now say, this gas contains 15% Ethanol.

I made the basic mistake of following links and forgetting to read the rest of the article. I went back and finished, it was well written and a lot of work went into it.

To give the ending away, this is what it comes down to (best guess speculation by author):

Peter R, another trader, came to the same conclusion independently from me
-The author

"a group of hackers gained access to MtGox servers and executed fake trades that the world could see, driving the nominal price of bitcoin near $0. Mark was frantic. He quickly regained control of the servers and learned the dark truth: the million bitcoins that had recently flooded in earlier that month were gone. Mark admitted publically to the hack, rewound the false trades, but kept the truth of the missing coins a secret.

How could this 26-year old explain to his customers that he had lost their bitcoins? And if the world found out, would this kill the thing he loved so dearly? Would he go to jail? Or worse yet, would someone kill him? Mark decided that he would do what he thought was right: he would slowly earn back the lost bitcoin with MtGox trading fee profits and eventually make his customers whole again. He still had over 500,000 BTC left—he moved 424242.42424242 BTC between bitcoin addresses and convinced the community that MtGox was solvent. As long as withdrawals didn’t exceed deposits over a long period of time, no one would ever find out the truth. Or so he thought."

----- So how did all of this trading activity affect the price of Bitcoin as a whole? The answer is, unfortunately, enormously. -article

I tried to follow it all the way through, bounce around reddit and even downloaded the torrent "2014 Mt. Gox Leak" http://thepiratebay.se/torrent...

But wasn't able to view it as there's concern over the file TibanneBackOffice.zip; It appears to be a MAC.OSX.Coinstealer, go figure.

The Newsgroup 24hoursupport.helpdesk was my hang out, any question was a good one and someone would usually be able to answer it. It's gone political now from what I see and of little use.

On subject the Newsgroup 24hoursupport.helpdesk was created by a company to provide support for their product, and taken over when they abandoned it many many years ago.

Anytime I run into a problem I Google it, and most of the time that's all I need to do.

Then you have Tomshardware.com that pays to show as the first few hits to key words and I run into my own Usenet post that they pull in as their own, this has happened a lot.

I think it was Dear Abby (honest :} ) someone wrote asking about having compromising photos taken of them by their husband. The answer was to wear a mask.

Man that Uranium Hexafluoride is some nasty stuff. I worked for a few weeks (and enough for me) at a fuel element production plant (for commercial power plants). The Uranium came in (transported) as Uranium Hexafluoride. It's a bone seeker, I've heard of a person whose finger felt it was burning and nothing they could do about it, I'm sure there are other stories if I'd of stayed longer.

I'd mention health problems of the long timers (growths like warts) but can't back it up, just saying.

MOX - (Fukushima) Unit 3 has been fueled by a small fraction (6%) of Plutonium containing mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, rather than the low enriched uranium (LEU) used in the other reactors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... of course it was one that exploded.

It was part of the US program to reduce it's Plutonium supply.

FFTF http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... was a test fast neutron reactor, when it was time to shut it down the community tried to keep it running for the medical isotopes it could produce (and save a few jobs).

I had a chance to tour FFTF, as we all had security clearances we were shown a building to the rear of the reactor. It was a never used facility to break into the fuel elements and extract what was needed at the time. It was very impressive and could of very easily obtained the isotopes needed. I've never heard another word about what became of that building (all it's equipment), and the reactor was mothballed long ago.

While it could take at least another 25 years just to give it a go, it's the only option on the table now for high level nuclear waste (long term storage). Something that is really needed. That's a long time, and views tend to change given enough time.

There's a reason the waste isn't being sent to the Sun, rocket(s) can malfunction (not counting the cost). Personally I hope this works out and Australia commits to a nuclear dump.

I have a 42" 600hz Panasonic Plasma HDTV (that's 60hz effective). so my flicker 3D games are at 30hz; you'll get your rear handed to you. Stupid thing isn't divisible evenly by 24 so cinema is buggered as well.
